Prodigy: A Legend Novel

By Marie Lu

Book Overview

The second book in Marie Lu's New York Times bestselling LEGEND trilogy--perfect for fans of THE HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT

June and Day arrive in Vegas just as the unthinkable happens: the Elector Primo dies, and his son Anden takes his place. With the Republic edging closer to chaos, the two join a group of Patriot rebels eager to help Day rescue his brother and offer passage to the Colonies. They have only one request--June and Day must assassinate the new Elector.

It's their chance to change the nation, to give voice to a people silenced for too long.

But as June realizes this Elector is nothing like his father, she's haunted by the choice ahead. What if Anden is a new beginning? What if revolution must be more than loss and vengeance, anger and blood--what if the Patriots are wrong?

Customer Reviews

One of my all time favorites

I read this in middle school, and 5 out of 5 I loved this series through and through. I have a habit of getting to invest in my books and I didn't read for a little while after finishing this series. I had to sit with this story for a minute.

Enjoyed Legend struggling with the sequel.

I was really intrigued by the premise of these novels and I found Legend an enjoyable read. I'm about half way through Prodigy and I haven't been able to get into it. It feels like a preteen smut novel the few moments of kissy romance talk in the first novel have grown to take over the entire story , like we get it they're hormone charged 15 year olds can we get back to the story now? Will try to finish it but not sure I'll even bother reading the third novel...

Engaging!

Normally, I struggle with 2nd books in a trilogy - or at least they have the tendency to be my least favorite. However, I enjoyed Prodigy more than Legend.

I loved it

This Book it's so good. I loved June and Day. I recommend it.
